91 POINTS - "The red ruby color 2017 Calculated Risk shows a very complex nose of white pepper and earthy notes playing along with ripe blackberry scents. On the palate, blackberry flavors return big and plush in a supple and plush tannins envelop. The intense flavor profile continues into a long finish of soft tannins red fruit perfectly balanced with Cabernet spices." - James Suckling

The 2017 Barrel Selection is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and it lights up your senses with cocoa dusted black fruits, graphite, and crushed flowers. The 2017 vintage is rocking right now, and every time I taste it, I’m perplexed by how incalculably good it is.
